Diabetics beware with hypertension

Zhang Yi retired suffering from diabetes and hypertension, coronary heart disease for many years, because every day they swallowed a large number of pills. In addition to glycemic control in a certain range, Zhang Yi on blood pressure control is not strict, sometimes blood pressure fluctuations very serious. Not long ago, Zhang Yi sudden cerebral infarction, but also evoked severe myocardial infarction, after months of hospital treatment for saving lives. Original diabetic patients with hypertension is extremely cardiovascular risk and high-risk populations, diabetes with hypertension is to accelerate the heart, brain, kidney and developing a serious illness occurred in the major reasons. According to statistics, diabetes is 80% died of heart, brain and kidney complications. Diabetics suffering from coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction without diabetes is the two times, in addition to glycemic control, Hypertension is one of the key risk factors. Hypertension is precisely the most common diabetic complications in the country's 40 million diabetics, About 20 million people with hypertension. Diabetic patients with hypertension 10 years the incidence of cardiovascular disease rate is as high as 30%, cardiovascular disease, Diabetic nephropathy and diabetic eye disease incidence increased significantly. five years of coronary heart disease mortality and total mortality was significantly higher than in patients with hypertension. The higher the blood pressure, complications occurred more time, the lack of effective relief measures, the poorer the prognosis. Therefore, lowering blood pressure has become the treatment of diabetes an important measures. Diabetic patients with hypertension blood pressure control in the best 130-135/80mmHg%, nephropathy should even less. However, China currently has about 2 / 3 of diabetes and blood pressure were not fulfilled, mostly in the above 140/90, We hypertension diabetes prevention health and education still needs to be done. Diabetic patients with hypertension in drug treatment, in addition to alcohol, weight reduction and increased appropriate amount of exercise strictly control salt intake. In addition to monitoring and control of blood glucose, blood pressure measurement periodically, and blood pressure control in the ideal range.
